Working off unwanted calories....

Wednesday, June 12, 2013

I subscribe to a daily blog titled Pray Fit Daily. The Link to this website is at the bottom of this blog if you are interested.

I received the following blog entry today and wanted to share it with you all.

Counting The Calories

Pray Fit contributing dietitian and advisor to the Food Network shares some ways that are proven to help burn off unwanted/extra calories.

“Calories in and calories out — the calories you eat from food are expended with physical activity. When eating outweighs what you’re burning, you can pack on the pounds. High-cal foods take more exercise to get rid of, and sometimes it makes it more real to visualize just how much moving you’d have to do to shed those decadent calories.”

Damage Control
We aren’t suggesting banishing these foods from your diet forever, but if you want to indulge a little more sensibly, consider:

Serving up smaller portions
Indulging only on occasion
Increase your calorie burn by getting out there and exercising more often

Now that's an eye opener. Sure makes you think twice before eating high calorie foods. A tenant of ours, who is a manager of La Mar Donuts, just brought us some donuts. I haven't had a doughnut in years. Confession!.... I ate one. 1276 days ago

I was told a long time ago by a nutritionist, doctor and trainer that the size of my body is 90% what I eat. Exercise is great for increasing health, toning and improving one's mood, but what I eat and how much I eat is the key to a slim body.
